SCA: security update for october/cms (GHSA-r89v-cgv7-3jhx)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418595

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- October is a free, open-source, self-hosted CMS platform based on the Laravel PHP Framework. A bypass of
CVE-2020-15247 (fixed in 1.0.469 and 1.1.0) was discovered that has the same impact as CVE-2020-15247. An
authenticated backend user with the cms.manage_pages, cms.manage_layouts, or cms.manage_partials
permissions who would normally not be permitted to provide PHP code to be executed by the CMS due to
cms.enableSafeMode being enabled is able to write specific Twig code to escape the Twig sandbox and
execute arbitrary PHP. This is not a problem for anyone that trusts their users with those permissions to
normally write & manage PHP within the CMS by not having cms.enableSafeMode enabled, but would be a
problem for anyone relying on cms.enableSafeMode to ensure that users with those permissions in production
do not have access to write & execute arbitrary PHP. Issue has been patched in Build 470 (v1.0.470) and
v1.1.1. (CVE-2020-26231)
